Barack Obama addressed the U.N. on Thursday concerning Middle East peace, Iran's nuclear program, among other topics. He devoted most of his speech to the troubles in the Middle East.

'Last year, I pledged my best efforts to support the goal of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, as part of a comprehensive peace between Israel and all of its neighbors. We have traveled a winding road over the last 12 months, with few peaks and many valleys,' he said.
He continued, 'Some say that the gaps between the parties are too big; the potential for talks to break down is too great; and that after decades of failure, peace is simply not possible.'
He refuses 'to accept that future. We all have a choice to make. And each of us must choose the path of peace. That responsibility begins with the parties themselves, who must answer the call of history.'
